Wait time long, food usually worth the wait
Saturday, August 26, 2006
The best time to go is NOT on a weekend night. That said, the food is excellent. Tea leaf salad, green beans, walnut prawns, poodi - all absolutely great! Our group of friends have been going to this restaurant for many years. We've had good nights and bad nights there but we always go back and we always let the waitstaff know if there is a problem. They can't fix what they don't know and it is so busy in there some nights that they don't see everything.
For the wait times, we tend to show up, put down a name and a mobile number and head to one of the local pubs or coffee houses until it is time to return. Seems to work out for us!
I recommend going when it is not so busy so that you can get a feel for the food and develop a list of your favorites. The wait staff is generally very helpful in recommendations and the number of dishes to share between a group.
Pros: flavors, selection, drinks
Cons: wait time, parking
